As we discussed in another thread, I think it mainly has to do with the emphasis placed on TLS. Pre-laws LOVE to talk about making 6-figure salaries in Biglaw as if that's the lottery or something, when in reality (A) most lawyers don't make that and (B) even if you do make $160k/yr, it doesn't mean you're rich. But I digress. My point is, those folks migrated en masse to TLS a few years back and have been there ever since.

Just remember this: the National Enquirer is one of the biggest selling periodicals in the nation. People love salaciousness, gossip and immaturity, all of which are available in spades at TLS and most other law school related sites.

I didn't know about this site when I was applying to law school, and I wish I had. There is some great advice here, beyond "don't go" and "re-take the LSAT."
